Bloomberg blocks the service entirely, as does NY Times. :/
haven't used bloomberg in a minute but wasn't it as easy as blocking java script? (and that's something you should be doing anyway.)
hell you got a second to scroll the article before it locked out scrolling so you could just reload the page and scroll down to where you where reading if you where on say a work computer and couldn't install shit.
Just tried both tricks on Bloomberg, neither works.
(I am also not a huge fan of NoScript. I know why people use it but I don't want to take all that brokenness. The thing that makes ad blockers mass-compatible is that they have auto-updating block lists. I do have an own list to kill some additional disrespectful behaviors from websites like chat bots though.)
